POLL: Rate Joe Calzaghe's Resume (1-10)

[Johnny Rebel]

JC is a solid 8, resume wise. Performance wise he's a 10.

Besides Ottke who refused to fight him, Joe beat every top contender in his division for a decade. There were NO big name American SMW's for Calzaghe to fly to the states to fight, so lets stop pretending there was without naming names!

Somewhere between 7 and 8.

Eubank was a good victory. He was past his prime, but Calzaghe was largely unproven at that point.

Reid was at his prime and he was a very underrated fighter who sans Ottke robbery would have had a greater reputation.

Woodhall, Brewer, Sheika and Mitchell were all capable opponents.

Forget the bull**** about Lacy. Prior to his Calzaghe beatdown he was ten times the fighter he is today.

Kessler is a top opponent (even if he seems unwilling to prove it these days).

Hopkins's demolition of Pavlik demonstrated he isn't past it.

Sure, it isn't the resume of a Pacquiao or Duran. But it certainly isn't a weak one either.

if u knew ur facts u would know hopkins pulled out of there fight deal by doubling his demands in 2002.so wots hater got 2 say now?

Im pretty sure that was for a fight in wales mate, so what, Hopkins didnt wanna fight in Wales, im talking about Calzaghe going to America and forcing the fight.

But he had a fear of flying right?



Ps. Im actually not a hater, im just not gonna arse-lick a guy because he comes from the same area of the world as I do.

And what happened when they did fight? Calzaghe went life and death with a 43 year old hopkins and got put on his ass in round 1.

Nah mate, I dont think Hopkins is scared of Joe, he's been calling him out for rematch, which he would do anywhere, but calzaghe doesnt do rematches right?

[Drunk Punch]

I'd give him an 8 for clearing out his division and stepping up to 175.

With his skills though, Joe should have scored a 10 by taking on elite fighters in his prime (before his hands turned to china).
